The "Ishtar Gate," built approximately 575 BCE was the main entrance into Babylon. It was the eighth of one of eight gates of the inner city. King Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon dedicated the Gate to Ishtar. It was one of the most impressive monuments in the ancient Near East. The Ishtar Gate was decorated with dragons, bulls and lions. Along with Ea (Satan) and Enlil (Beelzebub), she wound up in the grimiores when judeo/xianity arrived on the scene as one of the top Crowned princes of Hell. These three were the most popular and well known deities in the Middle East. Their reputations were destroyed, they were viciously slandered, blasphemed and demonized; labeled as "evil."
